Inaugurating an arts and science college for women in Tiruppur established by the Kongu Vellalar Trust, Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M.K. Stalin took a dig at AIADMK Ministers for reportedly not having helped in setting up the college during their regime.
“Permission could not be obtained even though 28 acres of land were purchased to establish a college to be named after [late freedom fighter] Dheeran Chinnamalai. During the erstwhile AIADMK regime, permission could not be obtained despite nine people from this western region being Ministers”, Mr. Stalin said, while virtually addressing the inauguration event.
